An original and highly recognisable pilot's rudder/brake pedal component from an RAF Lancaster bomber. This rare cockpit fitting formed part of the pedal assembly mounted on the cockpit floor directly in front of the pilot's seat, where it was used to operate the aircraft's rudder and wheel brakes during flight.

Manufactured from a heavy magnesium alloy, this is a superb surviving example that retains traces of its original finish, together with some of its manufacturer's markings and part numbers, which remain partially legible. The component has sustained only moderate impact damage from the crash and has been carefully cleaned and stabilised, while preserving its original character, colouring and even some of the soil from the crash site. Measuring approximately 4 inches long by 3½ inches wide, it is an impressive and highly displayable relic that would make an excellent addition to any RAF or Lancaster collection.

This component was recovered from Avro Lancaster R5679 of No. 61 Squadron, coded QR-O. On the night of 24/25 September 1942, the aircraft was engaged on a mine-laying operation over the shipping lanes of the Frisian Islands and the Baltic Sea.

At approximately 02:13 on 25 September 1942, the Lancaster was intercepted and shot down by Leutnant Karl-Heinz Brandes of 7./NJG 2. The aircraft crashed near Grønhøj, Denmark, exploding on impact. Of the 23 RAF sorties flown that night, R5679 was the only aircraft lost.

Tragically, all seven members of the crew lost their lives:

• Sgt. L. W. Morrison

• Sgt. C. N. Caldicott

• Sgt. J. A. Duffield (RCAF)

• Sgt. A. M. Cormack

• Sgt. E. Dyson

• Sgt. W. Y. Emerslund (RCAF)

• Sgt. T. H. Bevan

All are buried at Frederikshavn Cemetery, Denmark.

The night fighter responsible for the interception, operated by 7./NJG 2, was most likely a Junkers Ju 88 C-6b, one of the Luftwaffe's principal night fighters during this period of the war.

The relic is supplied complete with three A5 laminated information cards, including historical information, period photographs, and detailed diagrams showing the pedal assembly and the original location of this component within the Lancaster cockpit.

This is a lovely condition clean airframe section from German Messerschmitt 110 shot down in the Battle of Britain. The part is a large oil pump mount bracket which has a clear to see {ME110] maker mark stamp.

On August 15, 1940, during the Battle of Britain, a German Messerschmitt Bf 110C-4 heavy fighter was shot down by RAF Spitfires and crashed in a fiery explosion at Slackstead, Hampshire. The twin-engine aircraft, belonging to the Luftwaffe squadron 5./ZG 76, was intercepted at approximately 17:35 BST during a massive daylight raid targeting local British airfields. Both crew members, pilot Oberleutnant Gerhard Bremer and wireless operator Unteroffizier Leo Pauli, were killed instantly in the impact. Initially buried locally as unknown airmen due to the severity of the crash, they now rest together at the Cannock Chase German Military Cemetery in Staffordshire.

On the night of September 29, 1943, the German Luftwaffe night fighter Messerschmitt Bf 110 G-4 (Werknummer 5477 / squadron code G9+ER) took off from Twente airfield to intercept Allied bombers. Flying with the unit 7./NJG 1, the aircraft was shot down at 20:35 over the Netherlands by British Wing Commander J.R.D. "Bob" Braham in an RAF No. 141 Squadron Beaufighter. The damaged twin-engine fighter plunged into the IJsselmeer (Zuider Zee) approximately 8 kilometres northwest of Harderwijk. Both crew members, the decorated ace Hauptmann August Geiger and his radio operator Feldwebel D. Koch, lost their lives in the crash and are buried today at the Ysselsteyn military cemetery.
